report

There are soldiers in the way of harm, a girl holds a baby in a blanket in her armsA man with a flag leaves for work, a woman pulls a thread from the hem of her skirtAnother Saturday comes and goes, another south wind comes and blowsAnother baseball field another pop fly, another bunch of boys another blue sky?Sam Baker
